as far as getting the parts from different vendors and putting it together myself, i wouldnt mind that at all. would help me learn more during the process too. but would i end up spending more or less money. you said cheapest option for that style, is that comparing to building it or in general? how much you think i could get it all for if i built it??
and BTW, thanks for all your help.

A wheely king is actually a bit larger than the axial scale truck. You can get those trucks (WK) really cheap used and can make them into a decent mud vehicle. Plus the motor is positioned up high so it will last longer. My next waterproof build will use a WK tranny and a set of tamiya tlt axles on a reign frame. Some crt.5 front shocks and most likely pede or jato driveshafts. This is the mix and match approach, not as easy to do as just buying a roller. Other than the WK, not really much cheap that you can pick up. You will want to stretch the links a bit, but hpi and others do sell a kit.
Buy a good waterproof esc, or put everything is a good tuperware with locking sides. I like the tuperware method, as you can get the battery, rec, and esc in there and have very few wires coming out of the box.
